I'm on my way out as I see this question, but may want to compare HV vs Princeton OF's. If I get any time tomorrow I will, but if anyone has time, might be interesting. Maybe should compare to overall 2010 team/league, 2009 OF's, and 2009 team/league. Only use guys who are primarily OF's if you decide to do it.
